Facts and Funny Stuff

Facts:
- Ace needs to wear underwear and potty train.
-We are crazy...we are going skiing in a few weeks and driving 13 hrs with a newborn and a 2 year old.
- 1 more kid = more laundry
- I'm married to Mr. Fantastic. He stays up late on a regular basis so he does any late night feedings for Miss Alli and tells me to go to bed. And I'm pretty sure we had the best Valentines day ever and it was with our kids!

Funny Stuff
- Ace has a new rubber ball that has cars on it that his grandmommy got him...the funny part is he is so afraid zeus is going to pop it so he keeps it in our mini frig that we keep drinks in. I laugh everytime I go and open that frig.
- Ace saying "you can hold my hand, i show you"
- Me. "What do you want to drink"
ace."Dr. Pepper" (thoughts in my head...YOU ARE 2!!! you should NOT be drinking Dr. Pepper)
- Jacob was laying on the floor on his back and ace was sitting on his stomach bouncing up and down. Well one time he bounced and jacob said "oh that hurt..I think I about pooped my pants." Ace hops off and starts pulling on Jacobs pants and underwear asking "where'd the poop go?"

Just for your FYI: not that we don't have funny moments with Alli but they are usually due to our mess ups not hers...she's too sweet to be funny right now! And here she is in all her sweetness...

In Love

Well it's official. Miss Allison is just fitting right into our family and I must say that we are all in love with her! Especially her big brother. For now it is super cute and she loves looking at him when he holds her and talks to her. But for her I see PROBLEMS in the future. I have a feeling that daddy won't need to run off any boyfriends when she gets older because her older brother will be taking care of all of that. He loves watching her, holding her, kissing her, you name it..he is right there. He has even been really concerned about her belly button because it looked like a booboo till the cord fell off. In the mornings he wants me to put a blanket on the floor in the living room...then he runs and gets her a diaper, him a diaper, and two pillows. We change diapers then it is time for him and sister to watch cartoons together. I keep waiting for the new to wear off but I'm not sure that it is going to. He seems to really love her. Does he get a bit jealous once in a while when we are feeding her and can't hold him or get what he needs...well sure...but those times are the few and rare. I am so proud of him and how he is dealing with all of this. He gave up his paci the week before she came, has taken on the big brother role very well, and now all we got to do is get the boy to wear underwear! I know I know..baby steps....

Success....

Well after being in the house for almost 2 straight weeks due to having a baby, lots of company, and bad weather, we finally left the house this weekend. We took a short road trip to see how Miss Alli would do riding in the car. Plus she had not met my grandparents so that was something we had to get taken care of! She started off screaming as soon as we put her in her seat....all I could think was this is going to be bad, but once the car started moving she was great! We enjoyed a wonderful visit with my grandparents then went on to Jacob's parent's house. Jacob's cousin Holly and his Aunt Marsha came over to their house and took pictures of Alli. I can't wait to see them! We had a great weekend overall and it was nice to get out of the house.
We did have some excitement. After Holly and Marsha left we were settling down for the night when our dog Zeus starting barking and going crazy. Jacob went to see what was going on and the house across the street from Jacob's parents was on fire. There were flames shooting way up in the air. We set inside and watched out the window for a long time as the fire department put it out. Austin enjoyed seeing the fire trucks. I feel sorry for the couple that owns the house but thankfully nobody was in the house or hurt.
Today we are back home and it is my first time alone with two kids. I started this blog yesterday and am still trying to wrap it up! So far today is going great...but it is only noon so I shouldn't say too much. It still has the possibility to fall apart! Well Alli is waking up and Ace has gotten into a bottle of baby lotion...time to go!
Here's some Pics:
This is how I've changed diapers this morning and Saturday morning! While they watch cartoons together!!!
